It felt as if these weren't decisions she had pondered and made, but rather sudden, overpowering urges that bubbled up from nowhere.
Why was this happening?
The more she tried to think, the more her mind seemed to stagnate. Lizetta couldn't help but raise her hand, forming a fist, wanting to knock some sense into her befuddled brain.
"Don't move." Remington's timely intervention, grasping her wrist, snapped her back to reality.
Only then did Lizetta whirl back to the moment, but the sight of the man before her, his face etched with concern and tension, sent a jolt of agitation through her.
"Don't touch me!"
Her voice was sharp, laced with a kind of terror.
Taken aback, Remington's complexion shifted slightly as he instinctively let go of her hand.
Lizetta stepped back, only to be steadied by Hogan's outstretched hand. Her complexion was pale, a fine sheen of sweat on her forehead.
Remington watched her, his forehead throbbing with visible veins.
He felt humiliated. He had previously scoffed at Ray for suggesting that a therapist could be so influential.
But now, he was beginning to think he might have severely underestimated their capabilities.
Unable to contain himself any longer, Remington reached out and pulled Lizetta into his arms.
Lizetta was forcibly brought close, and Hogan, with a look of fury, exclaimed, "Liz! Let her go!"
He moved to pull Lizetta away, but Remington suddenly grabbed Hogan by the collar, his voice ominously cold.
"What exactly did Daphne do to her!?"
Suspicious of Daphne, Remington had sent Ray to her therapy office.
But they were too late. After leaving the hospital, Daphne had gone straight to the airport with her new French husband, leaving the country.
"Mr. Dashiell, what are you trying to do?! I don't understand what you're saying. Please, let me go. You're frightening Liz."

The readers' comments on the novel: Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington)
Does evil really triumph always above the good in this novel ? How comes Stella's evilness has no end? Does the author believes that by giving justice and importance to bad people like Stella will make this novel interesring? I am starting to lose my patience and ask when will the writer finally will realize that the protagonist is Lizetta and not Stella....
